Drift is my mind’s eye view of the foothill out our front door in Colorado, looking downvalley from our family home of almost twenty years. From our front yard, many a beautiful weather pattern drifted into our neighborhood from the mountains or rolled across the plains to meet it’s maker in the Rockies.

We could see miles to towns north of Denver from our nest on the furthest southern edge of the metro area. Our sky had deep, stormy blues, and frequently appearing rose and orange rays. We were on the eastern slope, so I speak here of the storms and sunsets. Like the whole state, these foothills were semi-arid, which gave them not a lot of green, but lots of soil, grey granite rock, and some tough, low, evergreen scrub. The first main foothill that runs for miles flanking Denver is called the Dakota hogback. The jagged rocks cutting the long, sharp, bony ridge qualifies the formation as a hogback. And across it, so much billowing and powerful broke over this ridge, bringing the emotions of the sky to our door.

The deep 1-1/2" museum mount edges of Drift are painted as 3D extensions of the main image.
